ORACLE NIGHT
Book ID/图书代码： 02740004B04589
English Summary/英文概要： Several months into his recovery from a near-fatal illness, thirty-four-year-old novelist Sidney Orr enters a stationery shop in the Cobble Hill section of Brooklyn and buys a blue notebook. It is September 18, 1982, and for the next nine days Orr will live under the spell of this blank book, trapped inside a world of eerie premonitions and bewildering events that threaten to destroy his marriage and undermine his faith in reality.
A novel that expands to fill volumes in the reader’s mind, Oracle Night is a beautifully constructed meditation on time, love, storytelling, and the imagination by "one of the great writers of our time" (San Francisco Chronicle).
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 一本藍色筆記本，9天的時間，將小說家捲入迷離的神祕世界。大病初癒幾個月後，三十四歲的小說家西德尼．厄爾走進布魯克林區卡柏高地的文具店，買了一本藍色筆記本。那天是一九八二年九月十八日，自此之後的九天之內，厄爾深受這本空白筆記本的蠱惑，陷入了一個詭異離奇的世界。
一連串詭譎的事件幾乎毀了現實生活中的婚姻，他的健康也大受影響。西德尼在筆記本上振筆疾書了幾小時之後，他太太為什麼無緣無故在計程車?痛哭失聲？文具店張老闆為什麼隔天忽然結束營業？
一本一九三八年華沙地區的電話簿、和一本主角能預知未來的舊小說，兩者之間有何關聯？憎惡與恨意到什麼地步會引發暴力的火苗？原諒與寬容到什麼程度才是愛情的表徵？
本書為保羅．奧斯特的第十一本小說，令人著迷，讀來雖像老派的鬼故事，但小說中卻無鬼魂，只有一群有血有肉、鎮日遊走於擾人現實之境的尋常人物。本書探索時間的本質，帶領讀者穿越主角的想像迷宮，全書精采絕倫，顯現驚人的原創力，再度肯定奧斯特在今日美國文壇的聲譽。
Awards/获奖情况：Awards: Book Sense Book of the Year Award - Nominee, Adult Fiction
"Compulsively readable yet wonderfully complex and unsettling. The book is both a babushka doll of stories within stories and a literary Rubik’s Cube, the solution of which, if there is one, is the very nature of reality."---The Boston Globe
"Auster shines as a fabulist and tale-teller, putting a high-modernist gloss on noir."---The New Yorker
"A joy to read."---The Economist
"It’s urban mysticism, a poetry of the hidden and the almost forgotten, with the supernatural power deriving equally from the city and the novelist’s imagination. . . . A snow globe of a novel."---New York magazine
"Oracle Night is a triumph for novelist Auster. It cements his growing reputation as one of America’s most inventive and original writers."---The Seattle Times
